"A Hard Problem" is an easy film to watch (tongue pressed firmly in cheek). Seriously, this retelling of Pinocchio - albeit from the end forward - is worth watching but be warned: you will need to pay attention (gasp)!

This is a story about a boy who is not a boy who wants to be a boy but can never be accepted as a boy by the society that created him. Sure, it's a mouthful, and you're probably thinking "I know how this ends". And you probably do.

Still, that's not the point of this picture. Getting to that end, this is the point. The first half-dozen scenes will seize you, I bet. Then, if you're like me, you'll expect a sizeable body count not to be. So, this isn't really a guy-flick so much as it is a human-flick.

Watch and ponder a hard problem of the future that awaits your children. It's coming faster than you think.
